   If you just want some information to get you started, use archie to
   search for:
    essential	"Essential LaTeX"

   There are some other free guides available. Look on shsu.edu or 
   rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de.


Here are instructions for getting essential latex:

ftp to TeX.ac.uk [134.151.40.18]

login as anonymous

cd [.MACROS.LATEX.STYLES.CONTRIB]

get hndout.sty

get elm.tex

cd [TEX-ARCHIVE.DOC]

get essential.tex

quit



latex essential

latex elm

(and print them out or preview them)
